It's a strange complaint really - do they expect Google to provide personalize concierge service to every website on the planet if they aren't happy about their search rankings?

The same reason we stopped using CPUs for rendering graphics. GPUs work for this ML stuff, apparently NPUs are being pushed as they're more efficient at the work.
